Progress towards triple-checked route options for Marazion’s three Slow Ways: 67%
Help connect Marazion
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Marazion’s Slow Ways.

This is a great walk with just a few things to watch; some of the stone styles do not have large footholds so you may need to be reasonably nimble especially if you are balancing more than a daysack on your back. A few of the farmland footpaths do not seem to get much use and are not super clear so just watch for them, they are all perfectly passable. At the Hayle end of the walk the path round Carnsew Pool is very rough but Hayle has beautiful wetlands so fine if walking conditions are okay....

Perhaps the best thing about this route is the relative directness between Marazion and Helston. It approximates the A road between these two points and it has the characteristics of attempting to follow the ancient route (which is now surely the A road) whist maintaining as much directness between the points....

Path runs parallel to the railway line and road so can be a bit noisy....

At low tide many walkers will choose to walk along the beach as an alternative as often the path gets very busy....
